<p>GH recently started automatically adding <code>*</code>/<code>-</code> when hitting "enter" while typing a list/enumeration in a post. I find that rather irritating since it means I have to manually delete this at the end of the list, and since <code>&lt;enter&gt; * &lt;space&gt;</code> is muscle memory at this point so I don't need the machine to insert this.^^<br>
Does anyone know if there is a way to disable this behavior? I have been unable to find one so far.</p>

<p>Not what you asked for, but you can use <code>shift</code> + <code>enter</code> to make a new line without list autocomplete.<br>

<p>Hit <code>Enter</code> twice to avoid this. (also not a direct answer)</p>

<p>I'd doubt there's a way to disable it directly. I use <a href="https://github.com/sindresorhus/refined-github">https://github.com/sindresorhus/refined-github</a>, which might potentially be open to adding something if it's possible.</p>

<p>You can use the <code>gh</code> CLI tool and then use Vim (or whatever your <code>$EDITOR</code> is) to write issues :)</p>

<p>Though you can't use that for comments (yet), so that may not answer your question.</p>

<p>Or what I do: open a new vim buffer, write my thing, then <code>:%y</code> and paste it in my browser :)</p>

<p>thanks for the replies, looks like I'll need to adjust my muscle memory to use shift-enter more often^^</p>

<p>I tried this (or a similar) extension before, but they had a hard time keeping up with GH changes. while some of the UI improvements were nice, losing them a few days once a month was irritating enough that I ended up disabling the extension.</p>
